Just ordered some Chinese food and as a result, we're waiting in the driver's lounge here. If we had more money, we'd opt to stay at the motel down the street while our truck sits out here all weekend. The only good think thus far about being stuck out here is that I just checked the route we would've taken for the run we had to give up due to this truck thing and it's all iced bridges and overpasses and all that jazz that we would rather not deal with. Especially since it would've been overnight driving.

I'm pretty sick of the weather and can't wait until winter's over. It can't just be a boring couple of weeks for a while it's always some new hazardous storm coming in. Not to mention that it just makes it harder because not only do you have to deal with driving in hazardous conditions, but places don't get plowed or get plowed really bad so nothing's really better. Like if we go to the shipper to get loaded, the place is sort of plowed except the snowdrifts are taking so much space you don't have much room to pull up and that messes you up for trying to back up. Also a lot of places, including truck stops and terminals, just don't plow at all. This creates a problem with getting stuck and sliding around. Granted it's always full of trucks and stuff but you can do a little more than not doing anything at all.

I'm also tired of truck stops having frozen window washer fluid. This is dumb because in snowy weather your windows get a lot dirtier than normal, which is the obvious thing. But what's stupider is that they make fluid that doesn't freeze unless it's negative twenty-five degrees or lower creating a freeze-less washer fluid. It's not a new invention and all the places that don't have it there like in Utah, Montana, Oregon, Missouri, Kansas...are all places that get below freezing temperatures and, a lot of times, it snows in those places.

One more week until Omaha. Less than a week, actually.

I just finished reading Metamorphosis and it was only sixty pages. The bulk of the book is an analysis of it and critical analysis of it. I don't feel like getting that into this book right now but I'm also out of anything to read. Ack!
